Small UAS Remote Pilot

Employing UAS from a ground control station for reconnaissance and surveillance provides directly relevant remote aircraft operations experience.

How to prepare: Review FAA remote-pilot eligibility and prepare for the initial UAG aeronautical knowledge exam, or check the FAA's alternative route for existing Part 61 certificate holders. Flying under Part 107 requires an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate.

Notes & Sources

  • FAA remote-pilot eligibility includes being at least 16, English proficiency, and a physical and mental condition that permits safe drone operation.
  • The FAA route for existing Part 61 certificate holders requires a flight review within the previous 24 months.
  • Remote Pilot Certificate holders must complete online recurrent training every 24 calendar months to maintain aeronautical knowledge recency.
